(Unit) Testing in Python and TDD Code Dojo (and short Reflection session)

We have food and drinks! Thanks to our gracious sponsor, Arts Management Systems, we will have complimentary pizza and drinks at this meetup.

As part of this meetup Abhin and I (David McKeone) would like to take some time to reflect on what PyYYC has been to everyone, and help get a firm idea of what it should be in the future. Please try and come early, get some pizza, and get what you'd like out of PyYYC!

Food and the reflective session will be available at 6:15 PM and the talk will get started around 6:30-6:45 as socializing and reflecting permits.

This month I'll be talking about the various testing tools available in Python, and how to use them for the ever-popular Test Driven Development (TDD). The talk will be followed by getting fingers on keyboards and solving a problem with TDD, so please bring your laptop (preferably with Python 2.7 or 3.3 setup!). If you don't have a laptop, that's ok too. We'll be working with partners, so you can team up with someone who does.

This talk will be very friendly to those new to Python, but not to programming. So if you want to get your hands dirty on some real Python code, and have written code in other languages, this may be a good meetup for you. For those experienced in Python, it's a good opportunity to get some TDD practice without having to worry about shipping or deadlines.
